Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017146787A1] The performance of an electro-optic display, for example, a bistable electro-optic display, can be improved by modifying the frame rate of a base waveform used to drive a transition between gray states. Such modifications permit fine control of gray levels with reduced artifacts. The described methods require less memory to store all of the waveforms needed to achieve good performance of an electro-optic display over a range of temperatures.
